Mental and Emotional Resilience training is no longer a ‘nice to have’, but rather an essential part of any workplace training program for any team member, within any area of the organisation.

Putting on a brave face or mask for every customer and colleague each and every day has been commonplace now for many, many years, however, as we’ve seen far too often, this is not sustainable and it quickly becomes exhausting leading to a variety of challenges, both personally and professionally.

Employees can often deal with hundreds of internal and external customer interactions a day, whether that be across a counter, in the office or on the phone. If even one of those interactions is demeaning or detrimental, there can be a number of consequences that can impact the employee’s state of mind and attitude, causing a negative impact on any business.

Years of training have taught us to keep the customer happy no matter what. While we do want to keep our customers and clients happy, we also need to ensure our team members are happy, healthy and able to respond to any situation in a sustainable and healthy way that suits them.

Experiencing a rude or abusive customer or colleague and expecting your team members to continue smiling and carrying on is no longer standard workplace practice. It’s crucial for the success of any organisation to skill both themselves and their team to improve all areas of health and wellbeing in the workplace.

With the changes and challenges over the last few years, your team are already experiencing their own stresses and uncertainties. Add to that, a range of increasing external pressures such as customers who are under more adversity than ever with the rising cost of living, stock shortages, freight delays, long queues, workplaces typically under-resourced because of labour shortages and more.  It’s the proverbial perfect storm.

A consistent lack of wellbeing and resilience leads to numerous mental and emotional health challenges, physical health concerns, and burnout to name just a few. This has a direct bearing on productivity, absenteeism and engagement.

The Human Rights Commission reported that “work pressure accounts for around half of all claims and harassment and bullying for around a quarter of claims” and “Preliminary research shows that Australian businesses lose over $6.5 billion each year by failing to provide early intervention/treatment for employees with mental health conditions”

It is estimated that “a total of 3.2 days per worker are lost each year through workplace stress” and “stress-related workers’ compensation claims have doubled in recent years, costing over $10 billion each year.

Mental and Emotional Resilience is just one part of the workplace well-being pie but its impact is significant with “25% of workers taking time off each year for stress-related reasons”.

In this climate of record-low unemployment, employees that are not equipped with resilience skills are also much more likely to leave the organisation, adding significant costs and stresses to your business.

For your employees, poor mental and emotional resilience skills can lead to longer-term mental and emotional health challenges, which can then further lead to physical health issues.

The physical health issues then add additional stress, and this can be a difficult cycle to break.

This obviously takes a toll on the employee directly, but it also adds pressure on other employees and ultimately your business.

The Workplace Resilience Essentials course equips your employees with wellbeing strategies to build resilience along with tools and tips that can be applied daily, enabling your employees to deal with any situation in a healthy and professional way.

The good news is this course is one of the first lines in prevention to mitigate the risks of poor mental and physical health for your business. By Investing in your team’s health now, you can help avoid costly issues in future and importantly, ensure your employees have the skills to improve their life both inside and outside of the office.

The Workplace Resilience Essentials course helps equip your team with skills and strategies to deal with situations as they arise, enabling them to respond to each situation, instead of reacting to what’s happening around them.

We all know the workplace has changed, and along with it, it’s introduced a variety of new challenges which is why investing in preventative measures now is a great strategy to ensure the ongoing health of your team.

Challenging situations are becoming more common and knowing how to handle your response to ongoing challenges at work can make all the difference between an employee who is satisfied at work and one that is becoming negatively impacted within their work environment.

Fortunately,  resilience skills and strategies can be learned and this 3-hour workshop will teach employees the core fundamentals of resilience.

It’s a practical workshop full of strategies and techniques to empower participants with the skills to bounce back quickly and improve their coping and self-management skills across a range of different scenarios.
